ISLE

In 2023 ISLE won Popular Science's prestigious Innovation of the Year for our patented InfinityFiber inflatable composite technology, creating game-changing rigidity and durability for inflatables. This week we're thrilled to debut our latest InfinityFiber product, the Flywater, at the iCast trade show in Orlando. This Skiff-Kayak hybrid brings all the benefits of InfinityFiber to a catamaran-style boat that can be used as a micro-skiff with electric propulsion, or as a solo or tandem kayak with incredible stability. Perfect for stealth fishing, family adventures and recreational cruising. Very limited quantitites of the Flywater will be available in late August. https://lnkd.in/ez-_badb

We couldn't be more excited to partner with Tommy Bahama to bring their iconic brand to life through ISLE's industry-leading product designs and technology. Join us at the iCAST trade show July 16-19th to see the collection in person! Limited quantities will be available for purchase in August. Tommy Bahama Announces Licensing Agreement with ISLE Iconic island lifestyle brand Tommy Bahama has signed a licensing agreement with ISLE (part of the Solo Brands portfolio) for a unique collection of hybrid SUP-kayak boards, along with limited edition waterproof bags. ISLE is known for its ingenuity in hybrid watercraft design, allowing users to customize their paddle preference between SUP and kayak with a proprietary ISLE-Link™ connect system. “For over 30 years, Tommy Bahama has invited everyone to enjoy the island-inspired lifestyle where and how they live,” said Gina Wilcox, Vice President Licensing, Tommy Bahama. “Having fun in the sun is a huge part of that lifestyle. These hybrid SUP-Kayak boards and waterproof bags bring the ultimate in outdoor fun. We’re excited to partner with ISLE to further define our lifestyle brand and offer our guests a fresh chance to embrace our brand and embark on exciting water adventures.” The Tommy Bahama collection includes two innovative models. The 11’6” limited edition Tommy Bahama Switch 3 Hybrid SUP-Kayak retails for $995 and will be available in two colorways. It’s an inflatable, ultra-light, super stable, and incredibly versatile hybrid board featuring ISLE’s patent-pending ‘ISLE-Link connect system’ that allows paddlers to seamlessly convert from SUP to solo or tandem kayak on or off the water. The Switch 3’s PowerFuse welded rail technology eliminates the potential for air leakage, while increasing the durability, rigidity, and lifespan of the board. A full-coverage soft and grippy traction pad opens the entire deck for yoga, pets, kids and lounging.   Additionally, ISLE will offer a 15’ limited edition Tommy Bahama Megalodon 3, ISLE’s largest inflatable, multi-person paddle board that retails for $1195; also upgraded with PowerFuse welded rail technology, the ISLE-Link connect system, and a full-length deck pack. Megalodon 3 is also electric-assist ready with ISLE’s exclusive motor mount system (for up to a 3HP motor) and a custom steering system. To complement the boards, ISLE has designed a collection of limited edition Tommy Bahama waterproof bags. The Tommy Bahama collection launches July 2024, and will be available on the ISLE and Tommy Bahama websites, as well as select outdoor retailers in the U.S.

Our Pro Series inflatables have received a lot of attention since launching last year, and we're exited that Outside Magazine named the Pioneer Pro best bay cruiser! Last year Popular Science named the Pioneer Pro a top innovation of the year in large part for our InfinityFiber inflatable composite technology. This high performance composite material allows us to achieve up to 500% greater rigidity in our inflatables compared to typical construction methods. This next generation of inflatables are dubbed "inflatable hardboards" thanks to their next-level rigidity, approaching that of a traditional epoxy board. Commercially, ISLE is the only brand to feature this technology, and we're in good company with NASA, the US Navy and DARPA who are testing it in multiple classified projects. Stay tuned for our next InfinityFiber product that we'll be debuting in July at the iCast fishing trade show! #innovation #watersports #outsidemagazine #paddlesports

Nice result for our entire Solo Brands family! We're excited to head into peak watersports season with momentum 🌊 🏄♀️ 🏄♂️

We Retired the Inflatable Paddle Board. “We are thrilled to commemorate our 20th anniversary by retiring the inflatable paddle board as we know it,” commented VP of Product Jimmy Blakeney. “The entire Isle collection now features our patent-pending Isle-Link connect system, born from the idea that spending time on the water with friends and family is the #1 priority, and how you spend that time will change from day to day depending on the conditions, your mood, and your crew. From paddle boarding to kayaking, electrifying your adventure or a linked-up multi-board island, the choice is yours.” #paddleboarding #kayaking #outdoorindustry #innovation #surfing #outdoorpursuits #paddleboard #actionsportsindustry #boardsports https://lnkd.in/eT59Kpp8

Innovation is at the forefront of what we do at ISLE, and is grounded in the spirit of innovation inherent across the entire Solo Brands family of brands. ISLE winning the 2023 Popular Science "Top Innovations of the Year" award for our Pro Series construction, among others, contributed to this award from Fast Company for the entire group. Congrats to the entire Solo Brands family, well done!

Andrew Hughes will be taking our award winning Switch SUP Hybrid Kayak out and paddling the highest body of water. If you don’t know Andrew, his records include - The Seven Summits, Antarctica Trifecta, 6 of 7 Volcanic Seven Summits, and many more. Over the 2019-2020 season, he became the fastest American man and third person ever to complete the Antarctica Trifecta, reaching the summits of Mount Vinson (the highest mountain) and Mount Sidley (the highest volcano) in Antarctica. He’s a legend and we are beyond humbled to be included on this journey. Check in with our ISLE IG account for all of the story details as Andrew updates us from Chile.
